Markley Construction

Markley Construction is led by Thomas and Nikki Markley, and the company describes itself as a family-run renovation firm based in Langley with more than 20 years of experience. Their shop on 56 Avenue is where they say they hold meetings with the subtrades, and the work covers a lot of what homeowners tend to want done: a new kitchen, a refreshed bathroom, a finished basement, a deck or a custom fireplace wall.

What they do

The website lists kitchen and bathroom renovations, basement suites and finishing, home additions, decks, patios, pergolas and outdoor living, concrete and hardscaping, custom millwork, and commercial tenant improvements. Their Instagram, which has been active in the past week, shows before-and-after kitchens, built-in shelving and fireplace surrounds, so you can see the finish before you call. Their project pages include a bathroom renovation in Langley and a fireplace and millwork job in Surrey.

They also put the number of projects they’ve completed at more than 1,390, a figure from their own website.

The TV connection

Thomas Markley and Vancouver designer Tatianna Taylor-Tait appear on their site as the winners of season 3 of Renovation Resort, a Home Network competition where four teams renovate lakefront cabins over eight weeks. That result comes from the company’s own site, so we’re passing it along as their claim.

Before you call

Markley’s site asks you to fill in a form for a free consultation, which asks for your service type and budget range. You can also call 866-488-5275 or email [email protected]. Google shows them open weekdays only, with hours that the site doesn’t post, so call ahead before dropping by the shop.
